for those fluff bunnies out there you will be aware of the final moment of the horus heresy

'The Emperor and Horus engaged one another, battling physically and psychically. Though the Emperor's psychic gifts and martial skills were unequalled, he found himself unwilling to summon his full strength against his beloved son. The Emperor suffered grievous wounds at Horus' hands, and after a score of thrusts, parries and counter-thrusts between runesword and lightning claw, Horus sliced open the Emperor's chest armour, then opened his jugular and severed the tendons in his right wrist, disarming the Emperor. A psychic blast seared the flesh from the Emperor's face, bursting an eye. After tearing the Emperor's right arm from its socket, Horus raised his father high over his head, and broke his back over his knee.'

wait... what is that I hear....?

"All right Chums... Lets DO THIS!!!"

'At that moment, a lone Adeptus Custode entered the bridge. Horus showed him the Emperor's broken form and laughed at the Custode. He roared and charged the Warmaster. He was flayed alive by a glancing psychic blast from Horus. (In previous editions of the tale, an Imperial Fist Terminator attacks Horus; in older versions, the doomed man is an Imperial Guardsman named Ollanious Pious LEEEEERRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYY JJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNKKKKKKIIIIIIIINNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!.)'

one major flaw: The emperor survived long enough to get onto the golden throne, so how could horus the porus have killed him there and then?

'The casual brutality of the act galvanised the Emperor. Realising at last that his favoured son was truly lost to the corruption of Chaos, the Emperor finally gathered his full and awesome power in the Immaterium and unleashed a lance of pure Warp energy that pierced the gloating Horus' psychic defenses. Just before Horus died, he looked his father in the eye, shedding a single tear, begging his father to finish him for his betrayal. The Emperor saw regret in his fallen son's eyes. The Emperor also knew that the Ruinous Powers could attempt to possess Horus again, and that he would not be there to stop him if they did. Driving all compassion from his mind, the Emperor destroyed Horus utterly, his essence burned from existence.

The destruction of Horus' soul sent a psychic shockwave surging across the Solar System, casting the Chaos daemons back into the Warp, spreading mass panic among the Traitor Legions in seconds. It became clear to the forces of Chaos that their leader had been defeated. A berserk fury had encompassed the Blood Angels at the moment of their Primarch's death, and they were surging forth to scatter the attackers. Retreat turned to rout, and rout turned to bloodbath; thousands upon thousands of Traitor Marines and Titans fell attempting to flee. The ground before the Sanctum Imperialis ran red with the blood of traitors and heretics.

Meanwhile, Rogal Dorn finally found his way to the corrupted starship's bridge, only to discover his fallen brother, Sanguinus, and the Emperor, now on the verge of death, his energy spent. It was then that the Emperor whispered instructions to Dorn, urging the Imperial Fists' Primarch to take him to the Golden Throne. The surviving Loyalists teleported back to the Imperial Dungeons beneath the Imperial Palace. Here Malcador the Sigilite, who had briefly taken the Emperor's place on the Throne, thus keeping the warp-gate beyond it closed, collapsed to dust as he was removed and the Emperor put in his place.

The Emperor spoke his final words to his followers. He urged them to continue the fight to free humanity from the forces of Chaos and ignorance that continued to assail it. And then the Master of Mankind spoke no more, his body entombed within the life-support mechanisms of the Golden Throne, his spirit caught between the Warp and in a crippled, decaying body for millennia. The Imperium of Man survived, but would become the bastion of repression and brutality the Emperor had long fought against. It would also offer humanity its best hope for survival in an uncaring and increasingly hostile universe. '


does that help?

Disagree with the last sentence; become a Gue'vesa! Join your brothers in a truly caring world! Throw off the dread shackles of the Imperium and join a system where your work and life will really be valued!

...what do you mean? Of course I'm not a T'au propaganda reporter! :P

"At least we give them the choice. Refuse, and I tell them that they will only have brought it upon themselves."
Commander Darksword to a human who questioned the Tau's "join us or die" mentality.

Yes, I did just make up a quote to make a point.

I believe it was against the statement, most likely referring to the fact the imperium goes:
"Surrender and die!"

The eldar go:
"Let us manipulate you or die!"

Dark eldar:
"Let us fap or you die!"

and so on.
